Questions

I cannot read English. Can I learn?

Yes. We set the phone in your language, use voice typing and voice search, and teach by showing step by step.

Do I need my own phone?

Yes, it is best to learn on the phone you use daily.

Will you install apps for me?

We teach you to install them yourself, and we never ask for your passwords, PINs or OTPs.
